Roadfood's latest email re: custard?

This morning I received the latest Roadfood Newsletter: Best of the Best - Frozen Custard at its Creamiest. I read through the email, but was curious about the seeming omission of Ted Drewes in Saint Louis, as it is surely one of my favorite stops in all the land. Any reason that they may have been snubbed?

I have no idea! Maybe we need a Ted Drewes-dedicated newsletter to follow. IMO, Ted Drewes belongs on any excellent-custard list.

Another great custard place that deserves attention is Abbott's out of Rochester, NY. From the few visits I have been fortunate to make, I think they are right there with the Kopp's, Leon's and Ted Drewes of the world.

It looks like the have expanded greatly in the last few years, so who knows how good the quality is at these other locations. Michael, it looks like have moved into South Carolina, with one in Greer and another soon coming to Spartanburg.

Now, that is good reason for a trip to Greer and Spartanburg. The ice cream / custard situation around here could use some more alternatives.

Sunni Sky's in Angier NC is a must stop if you get near Raleigh. Over 100 flavors everyday. They have freezers jammed in everywhere. Our latest favorite is a scoop of lemon sorbet with one of iced tea ice cream. A DIY frozen Arnold Palmer.

Michael, I have to admit, I was curious to see what photos I had, and the pictures of the custard, itself, are not at all pretty. You are, of course, more than welcome to use any that might suit you. If you need me to email you an original copy, let me know. I'd do my best to share whenever I can.

I am sure that buffetbuster can tell you what is in both of those cups.

Of the many exterior images I have taken over the years, this is probably my favorite:

And, while I know that the advent of Instagram and like programs, there are all kinds of filter settings for photo touch ups, this one has none - just a lucky shot.

One of my other favorite things about the place is the nearly endless parade of bridal parties that could stream through on any given weekend. I am sure that I have better pictures of this somewhere, but this was the one that was easy to find on this detail.

The bottom line is that Ted's may be on my Top 10 list, not just of custard destinations, but maybe of Roadfood, overall.
